Nivea for Skin restructure?

[SilverBand 0]

Has anyone ever tried to use Nivea Skin Firming Lotion and Nivea Reshaping treatment to promote skin to form over the new skinnier you?

Has it worked?

I have been using Cocoa Butter hoping that will help. I bath myself in it when I get out of the shower. I already have stretchmarks so I think the lotion is in vain. But I keep trying.

Scroll down to see Dr. Shulman's opinion on these lotions.

I bought some of the Nivea though, and I think it is a great moisturizer and plan to get more when I run out.

I love the brand, and have used it for years. But it did nothing to "reshape" my skin.

I've seen somewhere else on here that silica supplements (aka silicon compound, silica extract, etc) helps with skin and hair and can be beneficial to the extra skin issue, but I haven't had a chance to talk with my doctor about it.

Anyone have any info on this?
